Navratri celebrations in Assam

[Guest guest]

FESTIVAL IN ASSAM

 

Forced Christian conversions and terror, closeness to Bangladesh ,closeness

to China, demand for a separate countries, showing that north-east was never

a part of the Hinduism are the few reasons that have wreaked the north-east,

as the political parties made the mistake divided the Assam into smaller

states in 1970 to please their votebanks without thinking what effect it

would have on Mother India. As the North-east contains a number of

Shakti-peeths , famous is the Kamkhaya Devi in Assam, the other Tripura

sundari in Tripura state, celebrations continued even though Hinduism is the

minority religion in the region and due to as i said forced

conversion,influx of Bangladeshis though it is common for the Church to

destroy Hindu temples and people are scared to worship hindu Gods as anyone

practising hinduism faces the wrath of the terror of Church. Few realise

that like Islam, Christianity is also brutal though it is does work silently

spreading terror among other relgions. Are there any Christians who agree

what happens in India. You can read this

GUWAHATI: Finally, faith outdid terror in Assam. For the first time in more

than two decades, the celebrations were without the fear and mayhem that

separatist rebels or youth radicals precipitated during this time of the

year.

 

In Guwahati, Assam's capital, the administration claimed that there were 375

Durga pujas, up ten per cent over last year.

 

"The atmosphere is of great relief. People have been moving around all night

with their families; even the shopping malls were open all night in

Guwahati. This was unimaginable even a year or two ago," said Samir Sinha,

deputy commissioner (metropolitan) for Assam's Kamrup district.

 

The reasons are not far to seek. The United Liberation Front of Assam (ULFA)

is preparing to start negotiations through a committee of civil society

leaders, both the Bodo rebel groups have abjured violence (one has signed an

accord, the other is negotiating one) and only the hill districts of North

Cachar and Karbi Anglong are disturbed by tribal feuds.

 

In the Bengali dominated Barak valley, the celebrations are expectedly

gorgeous but even in Assamese dominated Upper Assam, many celebrations were

reported.

 

"Durga puja in Assam in no longer linked to ethnicity," said Udayon Mishra,

author of 'The Periphery Strikes Back', a book that deals with the state's

political movements in great detail.
